Angi's Super Service award in 2016 and 2017. Stucco Moisture Intrusion Specialist. In addition, we are a full service exterior design and renovation contractor servicing the entire Twin Cities & surrounding areas. We specialize in James Hardie Siding, all major window and door brands. Our jobs range from retrofit repair to total exterior replacement & moisture remediation projects. Designer services and computer renderings available.

"Awful. This company has good reviews but was absolutely awful for me. Called because of a water leak which is supposed to be one of their specialties. They had me hire a separate inspector/specialist to evaluate the home exterior. They then tore a hole in our kitchen ceiling looking for the water leak. When they had difficulty identifying the origin of the leak they simply abandoned the project with a hole in the middle of our kitchen ceiling. Finding water leaks is difficult and I don't blame for having difficulty locating the leak but abandoning the project with a gaping hole in our kitchen is really extraordinarily bad service."

Renewed Hardwood Floors Inc. Has been in business for 26 years. Jeff Kroh is owner and operator Hands on we have 4 Experienced flooring techs that are well trained. Provide Quality service at Competitive price we enjoy what we do. Always great to see satisfied Customers. ( Integrity is our Bond)

"Jeff was great to work with and our new floor looks fantastic. Why only two stars? The crew that did the install seemed to only care about the wood floor. They left stain marks all over our walls, chipped the paint in numerous areas and in one spot the punched a hole completely through the sheet rock wall behind our front door. Both of our pocket doors had nail damage when they attempted to reinstall the baseboard. One was completely nailed in place. On top of all that our nicely finished and originally installed baseboards were put back like they needed to be somewhere else in a hurry. On a few corners the nails were actually sticking out. The boards were splintered and cracked and the mating joints look like the person had never done trim before. There were filthy rags left in the kitchen sink and in the front yard. Our sidewalk and driveway are still coated with debris and some unknown material. The most disappointing thing is that Jeff didn’t check the job before we got home."

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can replace the frame around a window by completing either a partial replacement or a full replacement. With a partial replacement, your window specialist will remove the trim around the window and replace or repair just the damaged portion. For a full replacement, your tech will need to remove the window, replace the frame, and then reinstall the window.

House framing can be expensive because the materials are pricey, and the job requires a high level of expertise. The more complex the plans, the more expensive the job, but even the most basic frame needs to be installed with high-quality materials and precision. When pricing your home’s framework, remember that a sturdy frame is necessary to create a safe structure.

It’s sometimes safe to replace a load-bearing wall with a beam, but you need a structural engineer to sign off on the project. You’ll also likely have to upgrade to a steel I-beam or another material that’s stronger than wood to maintain the level of support you need without the wall underneath.

Whether or not you can fix water-damaged baseboards depends on the extent of the damage and the baseboard material. Medium-density fiberboard (MDF) baseboards cannot be repaired once severely water-damaged—you’ll need to replace the damaged sections with new baseboards. Wood baseboards may be repaired if the water damage is minimal and only affects a small portion of the baseboard.

Yes, a bowed wall can be straightened in several ways. If the bowing is minimal, it can often be straightened by installing anchors or straps. For more severe basement wall bowing, your contractor might need to excavate the soil outside the foundation and pull the wall back into its original position to straighten it.
